Dr. Forest E. Harris calls Martin Luther King a prophet of love Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) By Josh Christian, CU writer Dr. Forest E. Harris, president of American Baptist College and faculty member of Vanderbilt Divinity School, served the church community on Jan. 21 on the campus of Campbellsville University by reminding it of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s worldwide contribution. Harris brought the campus and community of CU a reminder of King's legacy. Harris challenged the university and community to continue to reflect on the achievements that King made. However, his challenge did not just end there. "How much more change can we make?" Harris said. Harris beckoned everyone to question whether the world had changed enough. He said the world might not be finished challenging the injustices that it faces each day. Harris said, "The world still continues to choose chaos over community." The power of King's life was that he was, as Harris said, "a prophet of love." He said if the world is to confront the injustices that it sees, it must do so in love, and that King had the power to turn an enemy into a friend. Harris called everyone to remember King's life as more then just a legacy, but an example of how we are to continue to face the injustices in the world each and every day. Harris also commended CU as being a school that, in his words, "Strives to teach the lessons that Dr. King tried to teach." During the opening of the service, Dr. John Chowning, vice president for church and external relations and executive assistant to the president, and Dr. Michael Carter, president of Campbellsville University, presented Harris with the Kenta Cloth award on behalf of the university. The Kenta Cloth award is a visible representation of scholarship and servant leadership. The Methodist Brotherhood, a Methodist vocal group, provided music. Yulanda Bradshaw and Ricardo Hughes from Columbia, KY, also sang a duet. The Rev. Pamela Buford, minister at Fannie Chapel CME Church in Campbellsville, KY, led the opening prayer, and Dr. Joseph Owens, CU Board of Trustees chair and senior pastor at Shiloh Baptist Church in Lexington, KY, gave welcoming comments. The service came to a close with all in attendance linked by hands singing "We Shall Overcome" and praying as one. Campbellsville University is a widely acclaimed Kentucky-based Christian university with more than 3,500 students offering 63 undergraduate options, 17 master's degrees, five postgraduate areas and eight pre-professional programs.
